Ormarks

Ormarks are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are known for their distinctive bioluminescent skin, which allows them to communicate through complex light patterns. These patterns are believed to convey a wide range of emotions and information, from warnings and greetings to intricate narratives. Ormarks have a semi-aquatic lifestyle, with their home world featuring vast, shallow oceans and dense, humid forests. Their bodies are adapted for both environments, possessing webbed appendages and gills, as well as a rudimentary lung system for brief excursions onto land.

Physically, ormarks are slender beings, typically standing around 1.8 meters tall. They have large, multifaceted eyes that are highly sensitive to light, aiding them in their dimly lit underwater habitats. Their diet consists primarily of phosphorescent algae and small aquatic invertebrates. Ormarks are a peaceful and highly social species, living in communal pods. Their society is organized around a collective consciousness, where individual thoughts and experiences are shared among the group, fostering a deep sense of unity and understanding. Reproduction is communal, with genetic material being shared and combined within the pod to create new offspring. Their technology, if it can be called that, is organic in nature, grown rather than manufactured, and closely integrated with their bioluminescent communication.
